Asparagus bed, type of sand/ prep?
« on: March 27, 2011, 20:10 »
Hi all,

I am finally getting round to building an asparagus bed. I am going to build a raised bed to allow for good drainage. Do I need to add sand to the soil (currently clay soil), if so what type? Should I do anything else?

Have you read this article on the main website?

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
